kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 A LOT of direction changes in the horn line drill during the third movement. Myron really challenged the corps visually this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 An altered ending to the third movement, very effective and keeping the stabbing chords which really build tension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I like the use of the female singer while the corps plays the Largo melody, very much like a siren of the sea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Now building tension and increasing tempo. Close quarters drill moves, too, very difficult to perform, much less clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I've seen more costume changes by the guard than I remember from earlier in the year. Might be because I tend to listen more than watch, though. Final statement of the symphony's closing movement's theme before ending the show. Standing ovation from the crowd rewards an excellent performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrumManTx Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I watched the Louisville run yesterday, it was REALLY scary, they've come so far this season. I knew it would eventually come together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
